Unlikely given the pathetic result UKIP got in the most recent elections,
just one MP elected, and that one a refugee from the Tories that who

And yet:

Ordered by share of the votes

Party Vote share Seats
Cons 36.9% 331
Lab 30.4% 232
UKIP 12.6% 1
LibDem 7.9% 8


And tell me again why we still used this broken arsed voting system?

Because if we went proportional representation we would have governments
resembling the EU.
Its odd that UKIP want out of the EU but are prepared to put the country
into the same political state if it benefits themselves. On second
thoughts its just "I'm alright stuff everyone else".
